Look, I KNOW! I know I’m like at least half a decade late to discovering this masterpiece! And it is a masterpiece!!!
Since I finished this a little over a week ago, I’ve been DYING to scream about it, so here we go!
I don’t know any better than you why I haven’t read this sooner, cause it truly has everything I love: Rivalry, morally grey (or, in this case, borderline psychopathic) characters, found family (-ish) and Schwab’s phenomenal, addictive writing!!!
I read this so so quickly, cause like everything else by the one and only V. E. Schwab this book had me HOOKED from the very first page! The fractured timeline kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time, wanting to know more, to know EVERYTHING!!!
Truly, I just loved everything about this! I loved (and loved to hate) Victor, and I loved he never claimed to be a good person. I loved how everyone’s ExtraOrdinary powers were connected to their near death experiences. I Loved how twisted and self-righteous Eli is, it makes him such a phenomenal villain!! And I loved, more than anything, the ending!
So if you, like me, are awfully late to this series, take this as a sign to get to it!! It’s bloody BRILLIANT!
